If you think students spend all their spare time avoiding studying, going out with their mates and having a good time then you'd be right. Well our student bloggers do anyway. While they assure us they don't slack on the study, they've got a lot to answer for when it comes to enjoying themselves while volunteering.

Start of something new.

Hello again everyone.

Apologies for the slow blogging, I have had a really busy couple of weeks revising and studying. I have now  finally finished my exams and I am counting down the hours till the flight to Grenada. The last two weeks have seen large changes within the LSCA. Over the last year within the LSCA I have been the Vice Chair, however I have recently been appointed the Chair of the LSCA following the previous chairs resignation. My role ovver the next month or so will be fascilitating the smooth handover to the new LSCA trustees.

Next year my role will change, I will be the Networking officer for the LSCA and a registered trustee of the charity. Next year I will be taking on the full time payed position of Vice President Communications Officer, this means that my original plans to run for chair of LSCA had to change, I was unable to provide the LSCA with the commitment due to the job. However the role of Networking Officer ties in fantastically well with my job next year as VP Comms Officer and is no where near as time consuming as the role of Chair.

When I return from Spain I will be helping fellow board member Amy organise a collection to take place around halls in Liverpool, collecting clothes, books, cuddly toys and other unwanted items that students leave when they depart halls. All the items collected will then, where possible, be passed straight onto the voluntary organisations and if not will be sold to raise funds for the pre-designated organisations and projects.

I am also really looking forward to the Trustee Board handover session on the 24th of May, this will be a briliant opportunity to meet the trustees who will be taking the LSCA forward next year. Heading then into town for a meal in the LSCAs' spiritural home, The Quater, and then on for drinks.

I would just like to say a massive congratulations to all the runners who took part in the Liverpool Womens 10k raising alot of money for the LSCAs numerous projects. Id like to say a massive well done to a really close friend of mine Vik for completing the 10k.

I hope everyone is well.

Speak soon when I return from sunny Spain.

 

Tom xx
